Terry’s new recipes have been conceived throughout the prism of the African Diaspora—cutting, pasting, reworking, and remixing African, Caribbean, African-American, Native American, and European staples, cooking techniques, and unique dishes to make something familiar, comforting, and deliciously distinctive. Reinterpreting popular dishes from African and Caribbean countries as well as his favorite childhood dishes, Terry reinvents African-American and Southern cuisine—capitalizing on the advanced flavors of the tradition, not including the animal products.

Consists of recipes for: Double Mustard Greens & Roasted Yam Soup; Cajun-Creole-Spiced Tempeh Pieces together with Creamy Grits; Caramelized Grapefruit, Avocado, and Watercress Salad together with Grapefruit Vinaigrette; and Sweet Cornmeal-Coconut Butter Drop Biscuits.
